About Us

The Get Alongs are a Toronto based band formed in 2017 by childhood friends Tristan, Eric, and brothers Harrison and Rory. They have released two EPs, ‘Good Morning’ and ‘Tossing Stones,’ along with their debut album ‘Weather Permitting,’ featuring 10 diverse and dynamic songs. Their genre-defying songs conjure a sense of nostalgia for certain fans, and a fresh new feeling for others.

Their music is described as a mix of “surfy garage rock”, alternative rock, and “shoegazy new wave”. Some reviews highlight the band’s eclectic sound: One describes their full-length debut album as a ‘blend of inviting eagerness and cool nonchalance’, reminiscent of artists like Together Pangea, Dinosaur Jr., and Echo & The Bunnymen. Another review from ‘Add to Want List’ praises their classic rock and roll sound, drawing comparisons to The Jesus and Mary Chain. Jiah, who wrote a press release for the band, emphasizes ‘The Get Alongs’ indelible and charismatic presence, noting their rare rowdy camaraderie and shared history of over half a decade. He states that their live performances as a display much like telekinetic intuition.

The Get Alongs share an intimate connection as brothers and friends; which all contributed to the band’s tenacity, excitement, and genuine likability—defining them by their spirited approach to music.

Praise 4 The Get Alongs

“The bright, infectious guitar and overall upbeat energy made me forget my vitamin D deficiency and transported me straight to the warmer months.”

-Demo Magazine, 2024

“It’s hard to pigeonhole, but expect a mix of surfy garage rock reminiscent of Together Pangea, alternative rock in the tradition of Dinosaur Jr. and shoegazy new wave like Echo & The Bunnymen, familiar yet original.”

-Add to Wantlist, 2024

“I had heard whispers about this foursome before the event had even started, and The Get Alongs certainly gave everyone what they came for.”

-The Varstiy, 2020

“We were 3 songs deep into the record before we solidified the band as one to watch out for in 2024. They’ve got that classic rock and roll sound (not to be confused with classic rock or classic roll sound) full of great walking basslines and vocally, especially on tracks like The Roller, they enter a vibe not unlike that of The Jesus and Mary Chain’s April Skies.”

-Crooked Forest, 2024

“It’s something else if you’re able to attend one of their shows; watching the band play with bloody hands and rip their shirts off halfway through a set, you’ll understand what it means to enjoy music with pure abandon. Their music can’t be encapsulated into a single genre; from college rock, new wave, fusion, to country, The Get Alongs play to their own tune and are constantly experimenting.”

– Melted Magazine 2021

“The Get Alongs release Tongue Tied & Twisted backed with Across the Lawn, a pair of furiously groovy tunes seemingly hellbent on giving every road-tripper with two ears and a pulse an excuse to put the pedal to the floor and the stereo to 11.”

-Harbinger Magazine, 2023
